What does the BlackBerry Storm mean for RIM, Verizon Wireless?

November 20th, 2008

I might not be a fan of the Storm but that doesn’t mean it won’t be flying off the shelves come tomorrow. You see, it’s not meant to be a gadget lover’s device. Just hear me out then flame away if you feel the need to. RIM felt the urgency to fill the gap between [...]

Review: BlackBerry Storm for Verizon Wireless

November 20th, 2008

The ‘iPhone killer’ label (which I hate using – BTW) has been thrown around since the first touch-screen device hit the market after the original iPhone was launched last year. Unfortunately, nothing has been able to live up to the hype. Both consumers (you) and techies (us) have been eagerly awaiting the launch of the [...]

BlackBerry 8900 aka Javelin aka Curve II passes through the FCC

November 12th, 2008

This morning T-Mobile Germany announced the 8900 and now CellPhone Signal has found the FCC filing for North America. The baby Bold is expected to hit both GSM networks here in the US, but it’s unclear when that will be. For all the T-Mobile customers like myself, I hope it’s soon.
Do I switch to [...]

BlacBerry 8900, which is a lot like the Bold, debuts in Germany

November 12th, 2008

Zee Germans get the first crack at the BlackBerry 8900, to which RIM has added the Curve moniker. It’s very similar to the BlackBerry Bold, but only has EDGE (instead of 3G). That, and its camera is one notch higher than the Cruve’s 2-megapixel one, coming in at 3.2 megapixels with flash. Fancy man.
It’s scheduled [...]

CrunchDeals: BlackBerry Bold for Free

November 5th, 2008

I’ve never purchased a phone from an online retailer before, so I’m a bit skeptical of this screaming deal over at Letstalk, but if $300 is too steep a price to pay for the Bold (review) then you’d be out of your mind not to scoop this up. The starting price on Letstalk is $100 [...]

Review: BlackBerry Bold for AT&T

November 3rd, 2008

How can I put into words how I feel about the BlackBerry Bold? In short: I love it and never ever want to let it go, ever. For any BlackBerry user/fan the Bold is everything you’ve wanted and expected from RIM. Sure, it took a little longer than we all expected, but it’s definitely worth [...]

Unboxing: BlackBerry Bold

October 31st, 2008

It’s been a long time coming and while the rest of the world has had the Bold for months, those of us crackberry heads will finally get it on the 4th of November. We were lucky enough to snag one early and I’m giddy like a 4-year-old with a mountain of tooth-decaying candy on my [...]

Get out of town! The trackball in the G1 is the same as in the BlackBerry

October 30th, 2008

This is the type of minutia that wears down men’s souls:

The structures of the trackball module and the Hall IC look almost the same as used in the BlackBerry Bold of Research In Motion Ltd.

Translated into English, or Common, this says that the trackball used in the G1 is the same as the one found [...]
